Boundary S Matrix for the Tricritical Ising Model

The tricritical Ising model perturbed by the subleading energy operator [Formula: see text] was known to be an integrable scattering theory of massive kinks,14 and in fact it preserves supersymmetry. We consider here the model defined on the half-plane with a boundary and compute the associated factorizable boundary S matrix. The conformal boundary conditions of this model are identified and the corresponding S matrices are found. We also show how some of these S matrices can be perturbed and generate “flows” between different boundary conditions.
